Part 2: Will You Accept The Much Luvv Records Challenge? (Save Darfur Now)
In response to the "Holy Hip Hop Responds To The Need In Darfur" movement Much Luvv Records would like to issue this challenge to all Holy Hip Hop, Christian Rap, Gospel and other Christian Artist.
The challenge is that from Now til March 15th Much Luvv is challenging the Holy Hip Hop movement to step up to the plate and act on the behalf of those who have been raped, murdered and displaced in this horrible humanitarian crisis and genocide Darfur.
Will you join the cause and step up to the plate to help those in need half way around the world when the international community hasn't stepped in to help the over 400,000 murdered and over 2.1 million displaced.
Tre-9 the founder and CEO of Much Luvv Records and the National Holy Hip Hop Awards has committed to giving "10% of our cd sales for the next 2 months towards the cause," and would like to challenge other artist, labels, industry executives and concerned individuals to do the same; to spend time praying and fasting for the cause in Darfur and to sow a seed toward their freedom.
You can mail the money to Much Luvv Records, Inc. 4930 Dacoma Suite C Houston, TX 77092 (Make Sure in the memo section you put for the Darfur Now movement) before April 15th and we will put them on a press release on our website that will give your movement some needed exposure. And help further the cause of those lives and countries being destroyed by genocide.
Tre-9 says, "It is a good thing to do, for such an awful disgrace to humanity."

Part 3: Get Involved - More info about Holy Hip Hop Responds To The Need In Darfur
We are seeking Holy Hip Hop artists, Christian Rappers, Rhythm & Praise, Gospel and other artists coming together to support the social cause and seek social justice to those affected by the Darfur conflict. Putting our feat into action and money where our mouths are to reach those hurt and ravaged by great tragedy.
James 2:14-26 says, "14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, "Depart in peace, be warmed and filled," but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. 18 But someone will say, "You have faith, and I have works." Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe--and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness." And he was called the friend of God. 24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. 25 Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way? 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also."
As many as 400,000 people have been killed in Darfur. Another 2.5 million have been driven from their homes and into danger. The threat of rape, torture, murder and starvation pursue the women, men and children of Darfur wherever they flee.
This is most definitely a cause worth fighting for.
Isaiah1:15 When you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide my eyes from you; even if you offer many prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are full of blood; 16 wash and make yourselves clean. Take your evil deeds out of my sight! Stop doing wrong, 17 learn to do right! Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow.
James 1:27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
Please prayerful consider becoming involved. Pray for the people of Darfur or if you can give or call upon your senators and leaders to Divest In Darfur.
It's something that anyone who really cares about social justice the loss of life should get involved with. Its something I believe in. We should, "Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow, to look after orphans and widows in their distress." 400,000 people have been killed in Darfur and another 2.5 million displaced that is a human tragedy.
Holy Hip Hop and other artists lets rise up to the times and do something for those who need our help. Lets show love and help those who are in need. Lets not just debate bible issues and enjoy our comfortable life. Lets help and fight for the cause of the oppressed and hurting.
Respond to the need in Darfur.

Okay, so there is a pretty strange chain of events that brought me to writing this blog. First of all, I came by this site when I was supposed to be looking up the size of the mole for my chemistry homework. I got bored with that, so I went to do some research for the "Save Darfur" project my english class is doing. I found this website, which I had seen before but never really explored, and started clicking around. I ended up creating a group (www.savedarfur.org/page/group/DarFURY) and setting up a profile, and I guess I'm already halfway to starting something.
A little about what's in this issue: We got music reviews, a sneak peek into the upcoming documentary "GOING TOO FAR," and the entire DarFURY ad campaign. Also, the News!
